Hearing Master Yuguang's words, Li Zhutou raised his head sharply and pointed to the empty room, and shouted.

"Master Yuguang, then tell me, where are they now?"

When Li Zhutou said this, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Master Yuguang's robe, and asked with a sneer.

"When I first came here to search, you kept saying that we didn't have anyone to look for here, and now you tell me what's going on, say!"

In the end, Li Zhutou's words were almost roared, and the ears of the shocked Yuguang Master were buzzing.

Master Yuguang froze, turned his head to look at the empty room, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, the old man has already said that they were still here when they were having their dinner, so I know that they are no longer here. ”

As soon as he arrived here, Master Yuguang suddenly turned his head to look at a middle-aged monk next to him and said angrily.

"Yuming, tell me, where did they go?"

Yuming shuddered with fright, hurriedly clasped his hands together, and replied in a trembling voice, "Senior brother, I don't know, at that time, they all returned to their rooms after eating the evening fast.

But who knows, they're all gone now? ”

Yuming turned his head to look at Li Zhutou, and clasped his hands together, "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with Senior Brother, and we didn't expect this kind of thing!" ”

Speaking of this, Yuming's tone paused, and then continued, "There are 6 people living in the guest room, either very old people, or they are disabled, no matter what, we can't imagine that they are this kind of people!" ”

After hearing Yuming's words, Master Yuguang suddenly sighed, turned his head to look at Li Zhutou, and asked tentatively, "My lord, even if they are not in the guest room now, this does not prove that what happened outside is what they did?" ”

After listening to the words of Master Dao Yuguang and Yuming, Li Zhutou was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Yuming and asked slowly.

"Master Yuming, are you saying that the people who live here are all old people and some disabled people?"

Yu Ming nodded hurriedly, "Exactly, there are three old men with gray hair among them, and they are already a little unsteady when they walk, let alone do those bad things." ”

Speaking of this, Yuming's tone paused before continuing, "There are also those three younger people, they are the children of the three old men, and these younger people have some disabilities to a greater or lesser extent.

The reason why they came to Ci'an Kao this time was that they originally wanted to live here for half a month and pray for the blessing of their children, but who knew that they would leave so soon. ”

After hearing Yuming's words, Li Zhutou also sighed secretly in his heart.

Before this happened, no one would have thought that the people who lived here were bad people.

What's more, these monks, even if they are bad people, they still have to think about the good, let alone not bad people!

Thinking of this, Li Zhutou turned his head to look at Master Yuguang and asked in a deep voice, "Master Yuguang, the six people who live here, whether they were the ones who committed the crime last night or not, they are acting so suspiciously, they are definitely not good people." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhutou's tone paused before continuing, "Master Yuguang, you immediately send someone to investigate now, and see if anyone knows these people living in the guest room, when they left, or where they went?" ”

After hearing Li Zhutou's words, Master Yuguang immediately nodded, turned his head to look at the few monks behind him, and said quickly.

"Hurry up and take a look at the four places and see if anyone knows the situation."

When several monks heard this, they hurriedly responded, turned around and walked towards all directions.

Seeing the monks leaving, Li Zhutou turned his head to look at the crowd hunters under him, and said loudly, "You also go to the four places to see what traces can be found?" ”

"Yes!"

When the crowd heard this, they responded one after another and went to search the yard.

When someone left, Li Zhutou turned his head to look at Master Yuguang, "Master Yuguang, you are more familiar with Ci'an Temple than me, is there any place here where you can hide people?" ”

When Master Yuguang heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "This is a quiet place in the temple, how can there be a place like the adults say, no!" ”

didn't get the answer he wanted, Li Zhutou stopped looking at Master Yuguang, turned his head to look at a few empty guest rooms, and kept thinking in his heart.

If it were you, where would you leave this room from?

Is it to leave Ci'an Temple?

Or do you continue to hide in the Ci'an Temple?

Thinking of these two questions, Li Zhutou began to hesitate in his heart.

If the gangsters leave the temple, where will they go?

The most important thing is that last night, there were so many people searching everywhere in Nanjun City, even if they got out of Ci'an Temple, where could they hide?

Inn?

I have searched all the inns in Nanjun City again, and I have found no trace of them!

So, where will they go?

Li Zhutou didn't speak, and Master Yuguang behind him didn't dare to speak.

It is now clear that the 6 pilgrims who live here are most likely those gangsters from last night.

If this is really the case, Ci'an Temple may not be able to get rid of the relationship!

Just when Li Zhutou and Master Yuguang were thinking wildly in their hearts, a catcher hurriedly ran over.

"My lord, I found some footprints by the wall, I suspect they are the footprints of those gangsters, please go and see them."

After hearing Catcher's words, Li Zhutou's spirit was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”

After saying this, Li Zhutou and Zhu Kuai hurriedly left.

Seeing this, Master Yuguang, who had been standing behind Li Zhutou, sighed, muttered slightly, and then chased in the direction of Li Zhutou.

……

Li Zhutou and Zhukuai came to the wall, and there were already two Zhukuai standing there by the wall.

"Your Excellency, you're here!"

"Look, my lord, these footprints are not the kind of shoes worn by the monks, and the subordinates suspect that these footprints were left by those gangsters."

Li Zhutou nodded, slowly came to the wall, looked at the footprints on the ground, and nodded secretly

This is a dark corner, and the snow on the ground has not yet melted, and it is for this reason that the footprints on the snow are exceptionally clear.

Although the footprints are a little difficult to see if they have stepped on each other, judging by the footprints that have not been stepped on, these footprints are really not the footprints of the kind of shoes worn by the monks.

Not only that, but in this piece of snow, there are no other footprints except this row of footprints.

This row of footprints leads to a path not far from here.

The snow on the path has been swept to the side of the road by the monks, and there is no snow on the road, so naturally there are no footprints in sight.

Li Zhutou looked at the footprints on the ground, and immediately waved his hand back to this catcher, and said in a deep voice.

"You go and call the rest of the people."

After saying this, Li Zhutou turned his head to look at the other two catchers, "The two of you and I will climb over the wall together." ”

……

Li Zhutou led people over the wall and carefully checked the ground, and sure enough, there were some footprints on the ground outside the wall.

After careful identification, the footprints outside the wall were exactly the same as the footprints inside the wall.

When Li Zhutou was identifying the footprints on the ground, the two catchers guarding outside the wall had already run over quickly.

Li Zhutou pointed to the footprints on the ground and shouted, "Everyone immediately follow the footprints to find and see where they went." ”

The crowd hurriedly responded and chased forward along the footprints.

Li Zhutou looked at 4 places again, and was about to follow the footprints to find it, when Zhang Yidong's voice suddenly came from the wall.

"Li Zhutou, I heard that you found their footprints, where did they go?"

When Li Zhutou heard this, he pointed to the direction in which the footprints extended, "Go over there." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhutou's tone paused, and then he continued, "Lao Zhang, hurry down, let's look for it with footprints." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhutou didn't bother to wait for Zhang Yidong, so he immediately strode along the foot order.

Zhang Yidong saw that Li Zhutou was gone, and immediately became anxious, muttering in his mouth that he jumped directly from the wall more than three meters high, and when he came to the ground, his body suddenly bent up, and when he fell to the ground, he took advantage of the curvature of his body to remove the force of falling, and then bounced up, muttering in his mouth and chasing Li Zhutou.

"It's not interesting, and you won't wait for me to ......."

Ci'an Temple is built on the west side of Nanjun City, not far from the West City Gate, and it is only a few hundred meters away.

The main gate of Ci'an Temple is open to the east, but the north gate of Ci'an Temple is not on the passage of the west city gate, but about 200 meters away to the south.

The direction of Li Zhutou is the west of Ci'an Temple, although you can see the west wall of Nanjun City, but there are some houses in the middle, if you want to reach the West City Gate, you need to walk north along the street, walk to the main street, and then you can go all the way to the West City Gate.

If you want to go to the west city wall from the place where Li Zhutou climbed over the wall, you can't go straight, you can only go south to north, as long as you get to the next street, you can reach the west city gate or the west city wall.

After Li Zhutou came to the north and south streets in front, the chasing fast had stopped and was waiting for him.

Seeing Li Zhutou catching up, a catcher asked urgently, "My lord, the footprints have disappeared here, what should I do?" ”

Another catcher also said quickly, "My lord, are we chasing south or north?" ”

Li Zhutou looked at the two ends of the north and south streets, then turned his head to look at Zhang Yidong who caught up behind him, and said with a smile.

"Lao Zhang, you take people to search to the south, and I will search to the north."

Zhang Yidong looked at the street in front of him, groaned slightly, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take people to the south ......." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yidong's tone paused, and then he continued, "Li Zhutou, I can tell you, you must not do anything when you find those gangsters, but you must come and call me, this credit cannot be let you swallow it alone." ”

After hearing Zhang Yidong's words, Li Zhutou was a little moved in his heart.

Everyone has been working together for more than ten years, and he naturally knows that Zhang Yidong is not the kind of person who grabs credit.

The reason why he said this was because he knew that the martial arts of those who led people were very high, and he was afraid that he would suffer a loss by himself!

Li Zhutou stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Yidong's shoulder, and said solemnly, "Lao Zhang, you also have to be careful, those gangsters are strong in martial arts, don't be careless." ”

Zhang Yidong laughed, stretched out his hand to push away Li Zhutou's hand, waved his hand at the people who came behind him, and strode towards the south.

After working in Ci'an Temple for so long, the sky is already completely bright, and there are already people who get up early on the streets, walking back and forth on the streets.

Seeing that there were already pedestrians, Li Zhutou didn't dare to be careless, in case the gangsters took these people as hostages, it would be a headache.

Thinking of this, Li Zhutou involuntarily quickened his pace and walked towards the main street in front.

Along the way, Li Zhutou didn't dare to be careless, and he would let people go in and check the small alleys on both sides of the street, especially in places where beggars gathered, and they were investigated one by one.

Ci'an Temple is a place of mercy, and there are naturally beggars around, although Li Zhutou is anxious, but he is afraid that those gangsters will pretend to be beggars and hide here, so he can only check carefully.

There are not only many beggars around Ci'an Temple, but also many inns.

Ci'an Temple is a relatively famous temple around, and there are naturally many pilgrims who come here to worship, but many pilgrims are not willing to live in the temple, and would rather spend money to live in an inn outside, but feel more comfortable.

On this north-south street, although it is more remote than the main gate, there are many inns and small restaurants because of Ci'an Temple.

Li Zhutou walked down the street, but his brows became tighter and tighter.

The inn is open all day, 12 hours a day, and gangsters can enter whenever they want.

Now that the sky is dawning, places like snack bars are open, and even some people who do morning work are already eating in the snack bar.

Looking at the street that had gradually become a little lively, Li Zhutou's brows became more and more wrinkled, and after a moment of silence, he immediately said loudly to the people behind him.

"All the people are divided into three teams, one team and I go forward, and the other two teams are one left and one right, strictly inspect the shops on both sides, and never let go of any clues."

"Yes!"

When the crowd heard this, they responded one after another, and automatically divided into three squads, waiting for the order of the head of the apprentice Li Catcher.

Li Zhutou gave a few simple instructions, and then led a group of people, not looking at the shops on both sides of the street, directly along this north-south road, all the way to the north, towards the main road leading to the west city gate.

Without the shackles on both sides, Li Zhutou and his people soon came to the main road leading to the West City Gate.

When he came to the main road, Li Zhutou was just about to walk towards the West City Gate, when he saw that a lot of people had gathered in front of the West City Gate, and they were carefully discussing there.

Li Zhutou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly led people over quickly.

Before Li Zhutou and the others walked in front of everyone, they were seen by the sharp-eyed people in front of them, and hurriedly pulled their companions beside them.

"Get out of the way, the catcher in the yamen is coming......

After everyone heard this person's words, before Li Zhutou walked in front of everyone, he had already consciously dodged a passage.

Coming to everyone, Li Zhutou nodded slightly, and strode towards the West City Gate.

……

Last night, there was an incident of gangsters saving people, and Miao Shouan immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, but because he had not received the order, the city gate had not been opened until now.

Looking at the closed city gate, Li Zhutou felt a little relieved in his heart, and strode towards the soldiers guarding the gate.

Seeing that a catcher was coming, the soldier naturally understood what was going on, and the commotion last night was so bad, if he didn't know, it would be a strange thing.

A leader of the soldiers guarding the city was about to speak when he saw Li Zhutou coming, but he couldn't help but snort first, and couldn't help but smile a little embarrassed.

"Li Zhutou, you haven't slept all night, have you?"

Li Zhutou stepped forward and arched his hand, "Brothers have worked hard, and the gangsters haven't caught it yet." ”
